TELEPHONE CHARGES.

A meeting of the stockholders of the
Mutual Telephone Company will be held
on Thursday next, at which it is under
stood important changes in the bylaws
are to be submitted. One of these is to
establish reserve fund of So 900. This
is a prudential move, and it should be
adopted.
Another proposal is that at the divis-
ion of the net income of the company
twelve per cent per annum shall be paid
to stockholders on the amount of their
stock, and then dividends shall be de-
clared by the Board of Directors to Gin
struments of the company in use,'' pro-
vided, always, that to entitle the holder
of such instrument or instruments to re-
ceive such dividend he must be the
owner of at least two shares of stock.
This certainly extends the principle of
mutually as far as it need 90 in the
practical affairs of life; and we anticipate
that the balance of the unsold stock rep
resentlng about $4,000, will soon be dis
posed OF after the adoption of this prop
osition
To meet these liberal proposals and
enable the company to keep up with the
march of improvement, it is suggested
that business and office telephones
should pay 81 per month, telephones in
private houses paying So per month
This is an advance upon present charges,
but when those using the telephone are
participants in the profits, as proposed
in this case, they can well afford to pay
the increase. Even then, it will be
a cheaper and better service than is fur
nished in any other country.
The progress of the Mutual Telephone
Company since its start has been very
satisfactory There are now considera-
bly, over 500 regular subscribers, and
fully seventy new applications for in
struments are on the list. This demand
necessarily makes drain upon the re-
sources of the Company, and it will be
recognized, we think, as judicious pro-
cedure to put the company upon 3

a Loud Call for Beans.

There is no one thing that New Eng
land man misses so much in New York as
a plate of good, old-fashiOned baked beans
1t is estimated that there are 100 600
strangers here every day, and a large
number come from the eastern states.
And yet with the constant call day after
day for baked beans the hotel men and
restaurant keepers have made no progress
toward supplying the demand. Outside
of half dozen places, there is nowhere in
the metropolis that this famous dish can
be had. There are, of course, thousands
of eating houses where baked beans are
regularly served. But they are such
beans! They are cooked in huge shallow
pans, are as white as milk, and when they
are dished out they look as if they had
been s'squashed'' in a mortar There is
never any pork in them, no juice and they
are as tasteleSs as water. They are al
ways served with a great slab of boiled
beef or ham, and to person who has
been accustomed to the good old Massa-
chusetts dish they are delusion and an
absurd joke. Still, this is all the New
Workers know of baked beans. They eat
them now and then and suppose they are
tasting the real thing, and in their ignor-
ance wonder why the tabled sustenance of
Boston is SO popular. Taking into consid-
Grafton the great number of New England
people here, it seems as if there was for
tune in store for the man who would come
to New York and give the people taste
of the good, old-fashioned Boston baked
beans.-Springfield Republican.

..The Planters Monthly"

The March issHe of this valuable pub
LEGATION is to hand It's contents are as
usual varied and well selected. The
original articles are valuable. "How to
Win, or Minor Industries" an article by
the editor, Hon. FL. M. Whitney, is con-
tains broad ideas, but he may as well
thresh the wind. New industries will
not be started here, or if started will not
flourish until economic and social con-
ditions are entirely changed. AS an
editor it may be well to keepsu things
before the public eye; as practical man
he must know that it is idle advice.
Cheap land in small farms on long
leases or in fee is the key of the situa-
ton. An article on "The Coming Agri-
cultural Show is full of points, but we
venture to predict they will not be taken
hold of unless the very energetic Secre-
tary does all the work himself 1t would
of course be very interesting to have in
the annual exhibition of the Royal Ha-
Waiian Agricultural Society a miniature
of the Mechanics Fair, San Francisco,
or one OF the American State Fairs; but
no one will take sufficient interest in it
to make it general and diversified sue
cess. The show of horse stock may be
creditable, and there may be good
show OF flowers, but that is the utmost
that can be hoped for. Professor Van
Slyke contributes valuable paper on

Where Politeness Paid.

In an ancient and very wealthy town near
Philadelphia live two brothers who began
life penniless, and are both unbelievably
illiterate for their age, their locality and
their time. One is master mason, one
master carpenter, and they are between
30 and so years old. OF the two the ma
son has a decided advantage in person and
solid sense, and he has had little trade
competition to impede him. But poor and
struggling he is. and poor and struggling,
unless by miracle, he will remain till the
end of the chapter, while the carpenter is
the owner of several houses that rent for
high price, and might, if he pleased, live
henceforth at ease in his own artistic and
luxuriously equipped house.
The whole secret is in the carpenters
scrupulously polite manner. No patron
was too insignificant for him to try to
please. When summoned to consulta-
ton his shoes were carefully scrubbed at
the door, his hat came off his head the in
slant he was inside the house, and re-
manned off, and especially if his employer
were feminine was it treat to watch him
receive her instructions, listen deferentially
to her suggestions, enter into her views
with respectful appreciation, follow ht
about, measuring rule in hand, and wait
upon her indecisions as if time were
valueleSS detail, then set himself ardently
to reduce her somewhat impracticable
ideal to possibility. When his hieroglyphic
bills came in they were guessed out with
shrieks of laughter They proved that ii
he treated madam like duchess he made
her pay like a duchess, and that every
moment of his apparently spendthrift time
had been counted, but the thriftiest OF
lady patronesses neither rebelled nor called
in rival workman. Such a carpenter
was a luxury worth his price.-PrOVidence

Composite photography is becoming

graduating class at Vassar gave me,
the other day, glance at what per-
haps, it would be fair enough to take of
type of the educated girl of twenty
two or twenty-three. Every thing in
the composite tones down and fades
and blends until the resultant pictures
gives the average features of all who
have posed before the camera. The
combination of the Vassar faces gives
a new one that is softened as all COM
posites are, but in no way indistinct in
its outings. 1t is like no one of the
graduates, and yet it represents thirty
seven. The senior face as brought out
by the sunlight is q somewhat regular
oval with straight nose, large eyes and
rounded. girlish features, a little
thoughtful, but not over grave. The
forehead is rather high and the hair
soft and smoothly drawn back, a little
tendril or two escaping about the brows,
but without the suspicion Of a crimp or
a bang. 1t is an interesting face, and
one that '87 will carry home as unique
souvenir. A second composite, also of

what one seldom sees in composite,

the juice left dry pulp. 1t was slow

expensive they are found only in the
kitchens of the rich, but any one can
make a press by the use of simple

pressure, and can be made at home. by
